Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1583: Chapter 1563:

”It’s good that you realize your mistake. You’re just a young girl; stop acting like a Savior every day! Let me tell you, even though they said nothing, everyone is really worried about you. After you left, I heard those two people sigh.” He Wenyu said with a look of resignation, casting a glance at the unresponsive room, and spoke softly, ”I really don’t know what’s going on between you all, but no matter what decision you make, I’m here for you. No matter how others misunderstand you, I’ll understand you. So...”

”Hm?” Luo Qianqian was slightly taken aback.

”Don’t worry about what others think. Be happy and that’s enough. I wish you happiness.” He Wenyu flashed a bright smile, his white teeth particularly striking under the moonlight.

”Okay.” Luo Qianqian paused for a moment and then returned the smile. The two embraced until the Snow Beast in their arms woke up and struggled, causing them to release each other, still smiling.

”Alright, I get it. I’ll greet you when I go out next time. I’m sorry for worrying you. So, Beauty He, could you forgive me for being so incompetent? I really understand my mistake.” Luo Qianqian reached out to pat the Snow Beast, her face full of innocence.

He Wenyu twitched his mouth and looked at Luo Qianqian speechless. Did she know she’s currently discussing a serious topic? She’s acting as if it’s all a joke.

Still, with a helpless smile, it seemed to indicate there were no serious problems; otherwise, why would Luo Qianqian be in the mood to joke?

Not asking what exactly happened was the trust built over years of companionship. From childhood, she never pressed Luo Qianqian for details, whereas Luo Qianqian constantly probed into his matters.

Whether it was family stuff, those vexing relatives, or the emotional issues concerning Zhao Wenxuan.

However, she was happy to have this friend to talk with when things happened. At least, the neglect from parents didn’t create psychological shadows, nor did it cause her to lose herself over a man.

”By the way, Brother Zhuzi just went to the bathroom. Why hasn’t he returned? Did he fall in?” He Wenyu suddenly frowned, looking around in confusion.

Luo Qianqian felt a chill down her spine and glanced at the ceiling. No wonder things felt strange. Could there be someone eavesdropping?

Pulling a face, she shrugged her shoulders: ”Brother Zhuzi might’ve eaten too much meat. Let’s switch to boiled cabbage for him tomorrow; his stomach can’t handle his appetite, huh?” Speaking, she motioned towards the ceiling to He Wenyu.

He Wenyu looked over, instantly speechless. How could grown men still be so childish? Eavesdropping?

Noticing He Wenyu’s disdainful gaze, Bai Yizhu shrunk down innocently, lying on the roof with a helpless expression, sighing lightly, ”Ah...”. Could he admit that he happened to see Luo Qianqian return, so he hid away, subconsciously wanting to hear what the two would say?

Admittedly, he was filled with dissatisfaction over Luo Qianqian’s late-night escapades. After all, with Luo Shufan absent, as his confidant, he was obliged to watch over his sister. Besides, his brother had long accepted a commission from their uncle...

Speaking of which, his brother had a thing with this pair of siblings’ uncle, right? Technically, that made him an elder to this pair of idiots.

Sighing lightly, ignoring the duo’s words, he continued being the carefree brother, disregarding any elder-like pretensions; claiming such status was risky.

Especially if Luo Shufan got angry, that’d be troublesome.

However, he had to admit, these two were quite close.

Throughout childhood, wasn’t there only that one time of trouble? Over a man nonetheless, quite ridiculous.

Men are all big pig hooves. Just look at Lin Jiayou. Quite the philanderer, changing girlfriends frequently.

However, perhaps because of Lin Jiayou’s promiscuity, neither he nor Luo Shufan would easily touch something called love.

In their eyes, love was sacred. Without the resolve for a lifetime together, one shouldn’t waste another’s life. Once in love, responsibility must be lifelong. No fickleness—in essence, that defined a man.

After sighing, Bai Yizhu flipped over to look at the courtyard, noticing the two girls were no longer there. He leapt off the roof with another sigh.

These kids became arrogant with their newfound skills, quite infuriating.

Yet he couldn’t beat them...

Pouting, he retreated to his room. What could he do? He was just a luckless guy.

”Qianqian, I suddenly remembered something.” After lying down, He Wenyu popped up again, looking at Luo Qianqian with a solemn expression.

Luo Qianqian was fixing the bed, but hearing He Wenyu’s tone, she promptly put things down and looked at her seriously.

Ready to engage in a full-scale business meeting with He Wenyu.

”Shiba.” He Wenyu paused momentarily before continuing, ”She seems strange, as if unable to socialize with humans, yet particularly close to Xiao Tian and the others.”

”Wasn’t she always like that? Previously also appeared to have quirky habits, or perhaps a self-defense mechanism, refusing external interaction.” Luo Qianqian shrugged, seeing nothing amiss: ”I feel, if I were auctioned off, I’d shut down too. Perhaps obtaining her was quite cruel? Or maybe... they harmed her kin to get her?”

Luo Qianqian felt she hit the truth, as not everyone enjoys the spotlight, especially as a commodity. Most people can’t accept that, right?

Being auctioned, even for stars or Brothel’s leads, should be considered an insult, correct?

Another sigh from Luo Qianqian: ”Besides, compared to some humans, animals show more genuine affection, no betrayal or deceit, right?”

He Wenyu pondered a bit, believing Luo Qianqian was logical, thus remained silent.

Only feeling unsure if animals truly exhibit genuine emotions, she knew for certain, Tang Guo wasn’t just an ordinary animal.

So sly it gave her headaches.

Calling Tang Guo human seemed odd, yet he indeed hatched from an egg without dispute. Humans were mammals by birth, yet Tang Guo hatched, contrastingly fed on blood...

Sighing lightly, He Wenyu lay down: ”I got hungry waiting for you, yet still can’t muster the mood to cook or eat bread.”

”Want meat?” Luo Qianqian chuckled deviously, earning a big eye roll from He Wenyu.
